How do I add external news (RSS, XML or feed)?
You can show news from your own source on your TVs using an RSS, XML or feed link. Once added, the source appears by default in all playlists and TVs that use the News entertainment.
Important: managing external news sources is available on the Premium and Corporate plans.
Add a news source
- In the dashboard, go to Settings > External News.
- Choose a name for the news source.
- Enter the RSS, XML or feed link.
- If you wish, change the additional settings. They already come with default values.
News from this source will then be shown, by default, in all your playlists and TVs that use the News entertainment.
Choose the sources for a playlist
If you want to set which sources appear in a specific playlist:
- Open the playlist you want and enable editing.
- If the News entertainment is not yet in the Final List (in green), drag it there.
- Click the grey cog icon on the News entertainment.
- Select the sources to be shown in this playlist.
Tip: external sources can significantly increase the TV's internet usage, depending on the number of sources selected. See the figures in What is the network traffic of each entertainment on the TV?
